This was the original intention, i.e. 'format' preferred over '%' but 
even the core developers have backtracked on this issue.  If I could 
remember the thread it was on I'd give you a reference, but I haven't 
the faintest idea as to which mailing list it was on.  I'm certain that 
other subscribers will remember and point us all in the correct direction.
